MP3 CDs not working? 2006 4.4i w/DSP / Changer

Well my manual says I can play MP3 / WMA discs, but I'm not having any luck. Do all of the files need to be in the root folder? Do I need to keep bitrate at a specific level? I've done some searches but I'm not having a lot of luck.

Any pointers are appreciated!!!

are you giving it time to load the disc (it takes a long time the 1st time) and what is your production date?

Just checked... my build date is 12/05. Weird. I gave it time to load, but it shows 'No CD' on the screen when I try to access. Will play with it some more.

Check the charher lable..
worst case the charger broke and the previus owner replaced it self or with bad indy/dealer so you ended up with none mp3 charger

Ok I assume you mean the changer label... any idea what I should be looking for? Will it say 'MP3 capable' or something to identify?

Thx

And this is a CPO 4.4i with 18k miles, so I don't think anything's been replaced. I have full dealer service records as well.

try to put the disc in a different slot in the magazine, the system doesn't realize it can play MP3s until you play them for the 1st time, basically updates itself

What is the model number of your changer and the build date of your changer?

What did you find out? Just picked up an 06' 4.4i myself with 18k miles - but build date is September 30th... I will ask the dealer, but I assume this means I dont have Mp3. Wonder if they'd be willing to swap it since it's supposed to in 2006.
